John 5:1-15
5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews;
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool,
which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
5:3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk,
of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
5:4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool,
and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling
of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5:5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case,
he saith unto him,
Wilt thou be made whole?
5:7 The impotent man answered him,
Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool:
but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
5:8 Jesus saith unto him,
Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
5:9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked:
and on the same day was the sabbath.
5:10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured,
It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
5:11 He answered them,
He that made me whole, the same said unto me,
Take up thy bed, and walk.
5:12 Then asked they him,
What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
5:13 And he that was healed wist not who it was:
for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him,
Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
5:15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
